Hod Lisenbee, the ancient mar iner salvaged by Bill McKechnie to fill out his pitching museum, got in the game only in a reliel role for the Reds, but he stuck around until the 11th inning and received credit for a victory. Curt Davis, crowding 39 accord ing to league records, itched the Brokklyn Dodgers to victory and one of his two hits was a robust home run. And Paul Derringer, 38 and with a long career behind him, pitched his way to a 3-1 vic tory over the world champion Cardinals All of which may indicate that this might not be entirely a year for callow youth after all. The creaky old characters might horn in for a iittle of the glory if their dogs don’t bark too loudly. We almost forgot to mention Paul Waner. the old eagle eye. He did his job perfectly. He sat on the bench as the Yankees whip ped the Red Sox, and that was doing everything asked of him. Page, Gunther Reach Finals At Pinehurst PINEHURST. N.

LOUIS, April 19.—M—'The Detroit Tigers broke off a tight pitching duel by bunching three of their nine singles in the ninth in nig today to whip the Champion St. Louis Browns, 1 to 0, and cop their opening series two games to one. Alton Benton held the Browns to four widely scattered hits, although he allowed seven walks, while the. Tigers pecked ineffectively away at Nelson Potter, Browns’ ace righthander, until he faltered in the final round. Don Gutteridge, Brownie second bbseman and the first batter to face Benton, rapped out a double to start the gaqne but the remain ing safeties were widespread. The Tigers hit safely, all singles, once in every inning except the first and third until the ninth, but strong defensive play snuffed out all semblances of incipient rallies. Vernon Stephens, Browns’ regu lar shortstop, was out of the line up today because of a jammed thumb, injured in a fielding play yesterday. . _ Detroit Ab. *• ®' ,• " Webb, ss - 4 ? 1 ?

The police said they tolc this story: When the elder Mrs. Woodward died, her daughter precipitated f family quarrel by refusing to per mit burial at Waterbury, Vt. Oihei relatives then assumed that the body had been buried by the daugh ter privately, some place else. Mrs. Hattie May Quinter, the neighbor, said the daughter tolc her that she had sent the body tc Egypt to t.e preserved permanent ly by a mummifier,” that it wa: returned and buried in Prospec Hill cemetery near Boston.

The body was exhumed and ship ped to the home here, enshrined ii the room beside the rocker tha had been the elder woman’s fa vorit chair. “Every afternoon,” said Mrs Quinter, "she would sit in the rock er and commune with her mother’: spirit.” The younger Mrs. Woodward wa: prominent in the Washingtor branch of the Daughters of th< American Revolution for man; years.

Doors To Open Early For Tonight’s Bouts The doors will open tonight at Thalian Hall at 7:15 in order that early comers will not have to stand outside. Matches will not get underway until 8:30 p. m. Something entirely new to this locality, a female tagteam match, is being offered. Four lady grapplers/at one time; that’s a combination that insures a bang-up, slap-happy, hair-pull ing affair. Ann Miller, the popu lar—and cute—young lady from Baltimore, and Violent Valentine will oppose Nell Stewart and the not-so-popular "Mysterious Miss Red”. Causey has already declar ed that he absolutely Will not be responsible for the welfare of those who should be brazen enough to sit at the ringside. ' In the supporting bout, a sixty minute affair, Sonny “Sinatra” Meyers will cope with the rough and ready Jim Coffield. Much to the delight of the fans, Meyers whipped “Texas Jack” O’Brien last week; however, local fans seem to think that he will have a partner that can stay with him when the cocky Coffield crawls under the ropes. Dave “Murphy” Cohen, who, if we remember correctly, had his torso pitched out of the padded square about a year ago, will be an hand to officiate both matches. Very few choice seats were left last night. Those who come early this morning may be able to «b :ain one, if they beat the crowd.

The Blackbirds, now tied up w.ith Wilson for first spot in the conference,* should add another to their chain victories when they cope with the letterman-less locals. Rocky Mount, boasting a total of three conference wins against • lone loss, went into a tie with the Cyclone outfit last week when the Cycs dropped their first conference encounter in two seasons to the Ral?igli Caps, 6-5. The ’Cats lost their last tilt Tuesday afternoon to a group of high school lads, playing under the banner of the Carolina Tigers, 8-4. Pete Carr and Brooks Page ar* packing most of the Rocky Mount outfit’s batting power; however. Captain Hooks, Bird hot-box man, banged out two doubles against the Hertford Marines Tuesday, and has been moved to third spot in the batting order. Earl Lanier or C. E. Bell wilt get the nod for today's game, with Page handling the receiving end. Coach Buster Dandeiake will have three possible choices for mound duty. Kenneth Rogers, six foot three inch fast’ball artist, Bil ly Hardison, Freshman rnounds man, or Harry Smith, 'Cat first sacker. Rpgers will probably start as he is batting around .650 in the conference this year. Levy Heath, 115 pound Hanover ian backstop will probably replace Hacksaw Tuttle, who is nursing a broken toe.

Y„ April 19.— (U.R)—Beetle-Browed Ed Barrow, ft man who forged the New York Yankees into baseball’s proudest dynasty, disclosed today that he had rejected the game’s greatest honor — High Commissioner of Baseball. Weighted by age and illness, the former Yankee president who once offered to do battle with Heavy weight Jim Corbett thus bowed to the toughest job in a sport which has been his life for a half cen tury. "I'm definitely out of the run ning,” said Barrow in disclosing that President Will Harridge of the American League carried the offer to him. “If I was only 10 years younger,” he added wistfully, “then I'd really like it. But you know I’ll be 77 next month.” Barrow blamed the rheumatism and arthritis which have led to critical illnesses during the past several years as added reasons why he rejected the post just five days before club owners would have met in Cleveland and unani mously named him successor to the late KenesaW M. Landis.
